Tomorrow, 30/07/2017 will try to activate YO/MC-019 cindrel for the first time. KX3 + Vertical fishpole antenna, unfortunately only 14MHz.The hike will be 5h+ (one way) and hope to be qrv after the IOTA CONTEST finish 1200 UTC. If WX permit, will try to stay on the summit for at least 30min-1hour.

Thanks Mike, It is good to be back to SOTA after some break. I was worried that on my last 3 activations there was no G6TUH , hi hi. Well, didn't know the exact time I'll late, so alerts were 1-2h before. Hope to work you tomorrow. 73 Petronel YO8SEP

Thank you for your patience Rod, and for trying a few times. Conditions were bad too, and I was on a peak covered with big / dense tree. Today, I hope YO/MC-019 will be better, because it is 2244m and no tree

Sorry Petronel, I was monitoring spots on my phone while watching the Hungarian F1 GP and for some reason, I missed the spot that came up for you! It's a real shame as I had managed to work into YO on 20m earlier in the day.

Glad you had a successful activation Petronel. I heard absolutely nothing here through the noise except Don, G0RQL, very faint making his QSO with you.Well done; I hope we speak again, probably s2s.73,Rod
